Fox baiting is expected to resume in Tasmania after a new round of federal funding.

In June, the state government announced the fox eradication program was changing its focus from baiting to monitoring.

The controversial program has now been awarded a $1.9 million grant from the Federal Environment Department.

Peter McGlone from the Tasmanian Conservation Trust says it means baiting with poison can resume.

"What has changed is what they're going to do is monitor for evidence of foxes and if they find any go in and bait with 1080," he said.

He says the funding will allow a baiting program in hot spots.

"No-one but no-one can be absolutely certain that there are no foxes remaining and we have to for the sake of our environment take the precaution and go out and monitor really intensively and if we find any evidence go in there and bait."

But there is still confusion about exactly how the money will be spent.

Although the latest funding recipients have been posted on the department's website they will not be officially contacted until after the election.

Devil detail

But the Australian Greens Leader Christine Milne is concerned there has been no announcement on funding for the Tasmania Devil.

A five year funding deal for the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program ended at the end of the financial year.

Senator Milne says the Federal Government is yet to approve a new round of funding.

"I support every effort to eradicate foxes from Tasmania but I also support the Save the Devil program, I want to see that money restored, but equally I want to see them rethink their position on the Tarkine," she said.
